Located in Bielefeld, Germany, LaVision BioTec is a leading global specialist for advanced light-sheet and multiphoton microscopy solutions for life science applications. Since its foundation in 2000, LaVision BioTec has developed innovative products that successfully address the high-end microscopy market for applications in neuroscience, oncology, immunology, and developmental biology.
